About our Chapter
GlobeMed at Whitman] Our chapter was founded in August 2011 by a small group of individuals who wanted to break out of our secluded campus, dubbed the “Whitman bubble.” Our partnership was formed that same year with the Burmese Women’s Union. We changed partners in 2014 to the Burma Humanitarian Mission (BHM) and currently have raised over $25,000 for BHM alone. Several of our GROW alumni have either extended their stay in the Mae Sot region, or joined the Peace Corps, having been inspired by their experiences interning with BHM on the Thai-Burma border.
Since our founding in August 2011, our chapter has grown from 2 to 20 members.
Since our founding in August 2011, our chapter has raised over $34,000 in total. .
